AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change the Commodity Exchange Act to ban certain event-based trading contracts. Registered trading entities could not list for trading, or accept for clearing, contracts based on events that involve terrorism, assassination, war, or similar activities, as determined by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. They also could not list or clear contracts that involve or reference a person's death, or that could be seen as closely tied to a person's death.
